Alginic Acid, Magaldrate and Simethicone suspension

Each 5 ml (One Teaspoonful Approx) Contains:
Alginic Acid 50 mg
Megaldrate 540 mg
Simethicone 50 mg
Simethicone allows easier passage of gas bubbles in the stomach and. Excess gas in the stomach and intestines produces painful pressure and simethicone is used to relieve it. Simethicone can be used for all age people. Magaldrate is antacid used to neutralize the excess of acid present in stomach as it can cause heart burn or ulcers.

Mechansium Of Action:

Alginic acid reacts with gastric acid to form a floating "raft" of alginic acid gel on the gastric acid pool. Alginate-based raft-forming formulations commonly contain sodium or bicarbonate; bicarbonate ions are converted to carbon dioxide in presence of gastric acid and get entrapped within the gel precipitate, converting it into a foam which floats on the surface of the gastric contents, much like a raft on water 4. The "raft" has a near neutral pH due to carbon dioxide and floats on the stomach contents and potentially functions as a barrier to impede gastroesophageal reflux 1,7. In severe cases, the raft itself may be refluxed into the oesophagus in preference to the stomach contents and exert a demulcent effect.

Magaldrate is an antacid used to neutralize the excess of acid produced.

Simethicone is an anti-gas (anti-flatulence) medication. It change the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines to enabling their breakdown. In this way it is believed that gas can be eliminated more easily by belching or passing flatus.
